The entire venue along the bank of river Yamuna became a scene of mini pools, making the area slippery and difficult to manoeuvre. The event managers seemed to be unprepared to deal with untimely rain.
The younger lot, who were participating in the cultural programme, used the occasion to perform impromptu rain dance.
Nima Kamdar, spokesperson for the event and a senior trainer with the Art of Living Foundation, however, said "this is the divine blessing for our event."
